YOUR AWESOMEHOME- ANDMEDIASERVER

Web-enabled file manager on steroids

At heart LimboMedia is a web-enabled file manager & browser allowing you to access files and folders on your homeserver with some amazing additional features. Others call it cloud, we keep things real and simple instead. By the way: We hate error-prone synchronization of data you might need someday. That's why we focus on having one central place for your data and access things streaming-wise. A good deal in times of cheap and high volume mobile data plans!

Share your folders with other LimboMedia users or create external links for users without accounts to send them via mail or messenger. Read-only or writable.

Amazing multimedia features

LimboMedia does everything for flawless media playback everywhere. We transcode your videos on-the-fly or scheduled at night using MP4/H264 and the free WebM/VP8 format so things just work in every modern browser. Audio can be transcoded too and images gets resized, thumbnailed and cached for fast loading and low bandwidth requirements. Some more facts:

Play everywhere:

HTML5/JS Webinterface for modern browsers. No flash or other plugin shit required.

On your server

We believe in privacy, security and that only you should control your data, so LimboMedia is built to run on your very own server or pc. At home or wherever YOU want. Linux, Windows and more supported.

LimboMedia is build with Java and makes use of the great ffmpeg and imagemagick libraries for multimedia handling.

Simple & rock solid

You had enough trouble with bad software? We build simple, fast and robust software!

LimboMedia is easy to install, easy to configure, easy to update, easy to use and even easy to uninstall, in case you don't like it.

When it comes to features, we always prefer simplicity over complexity, quality over quantity and great usability.

Developers welcome!

Even if the LimboMedia core is closed source, we've got a nice and neat HTTP JSON API allowing you to build own clients or third-party integrations.

The webinterface code is build with angular and open source, so feel free to customize or extend features and design.

At the moment there's no documentation, so just ask us if you're planning things.
